To the Missing 500

[AlanSprouts]

Thanks for turning up at last! You saw a great game. Come back PLEASE.

[Darlo_Pete]

Compared with a normal Tuesday crowd, there was a good 600 new faces. I doubt any of them will have been disappointed with what they saw, as it was a terrific match and very exciting. It'll be interesting to see what our crowd is this Saturday. Hopefully a good few will return and the crowd will be at least 1200.

[love it!]

Saturdays crowd should be 1300 to reflect the good performance against Salford. Gutted to be missing another game. Feels positive that automatic promotion is getting closer

[Uncle Frank]

You always seem to get extra faces for the cup final

Doubt they'll be back soon.

Obvious trawl by a Salford fan ...


ALL our games are cup finals
Usually in a Cup Final the opposition bring more than 18 supporters, so obviously it was not

[Geordie Quaker]

It must be soul-destroying when you go fishing on the message board of another team, only to find that your team isn't on the list of clubs you can add to your profile

Yep, counted 87 that turned up for their teams cup final.

Not bad for a club with 200 core support.

Where did you get 87 from Simon ? I know there were 18 on their bus !!!!

Bit harsh.

High - 1,311
Low - 359
Average - 631

And we only have 70 on our bus. Does that mean there were only actually 88 people there.

I know Salford isn't famous for being particularly wealthy but the residents are able to travel by other means than minibus.

He actually says he got it from counting. It is pretty obvious from the video there were c. 100 people in the Salford end.

I must need my eyes checked, I would of guessed 40-50 salford at most.

[love it!]

On the highlights it showed Salford fan in the main stand too. Clearly 100+ Salford fans there and fair play to all of them

[micra3]

What can we do to get Saturday's match on ?

Actually it is not obvious from the video " LO "( yes I am aware of cars too ... clown )
The Salford fans in the seating behind the goal counted 24 approx ( the others sat in the first half were Darlo fans that switched ends at half time). Apart from the Salford fan with the big head in front of the camera... It is not obvious, maybe the other 70 were all at the bog.

Salford fans themselves said they took around 30 which seems about right

[divas]

Not quite sure why all the Salford bashing. As far as I'm aware none of the fans have ever claimed to be hugely well supported, they're a small team with a bunch of core fans that probably never wanted any of the furore that has enveloped the club and we're happy supporting a small non league club which is why they go along to Salford and not one of the larger clubs close by.

The only Salford fan that ever comes on here has always been nothing but pleasant.

I am not having a go or Salford bashing it was a genuine question born out of curiosity... Is that OK ?

Not aimed at yourself, but the general comments on here re the Salford attendance

[lo36789]

There are 30 in the stand behind the goal alone(the near side one) plus I can count at least 27 more down the side where it is segregated. There were at least 57 and that doesn't count an area just before where the fans on the side come into view and if there were any stood a little bit further back down the side as well.

There are also those who are in the main stand - there is at least 1 group coz they are right in front of the camera!

If there were <70 in total I'd be surprised when I've actually counted. The near side was less congested than I remembered from the video.

More than I expected on Tue night and probably about 70/80, not a bad following all the way up here on a cold mid-week night. Sat in the stand you could here about 3 or 4 singing, well you might call it drunken shouting but they did keep going.

Agree with you divas...On THIS site he has always been pleasant. But, on the Salford site he is the one who ALWAYS has the last word in any debate..Even when wrong.

The one's in the main stand were sat in the away directors seats, so only 4 or 5 at the most, but unfortunately they sit on the row in front of Kev, so giving a false impression of their numbers.

[princes town]

What they lacked for in numbers they made up for in enthusiasm. So fair dos to them.

[Uncle Frank]

Did extra 500 show last night?

[Darlo_Pete]

Obviously not, but it was an improvement and the crowds are gradually getting better.

[bertbanger]

im sure more part-timers will start coming along in the next 2 months, however i dont mind, more money for the club

[footifan]

Did extra 500 show last night?

No they were at your Salford v Workington match... that is all they could muster for a top 4 clash which moved them into second. 555 wonder how many were Workington fans ?

"all they could muster for a top 4 clash" - sorry you are salford bashing there and I think backs up that your previous questions were hardly innocently posed either - despite previous protestations.

Their season average is 639 which is quite respectable, and that is after the Darlo boost so 555 is decent and puts them third in the average attendance table.

As Divas said the Salford supports are on the most part quite genuine people, still wearing tangerine. They didn't ask for the money men to come in and you wouldn't expect anyone to ditch their club after striking lucky!

[My opinion]

I agree with most of what you say lo. But,
on their site even some of the "genuine" fans love to have a go at us....indeed, their comments about Darlington fans are not respectful.
I do know we have a few idiots but they seem to tar us all with the same brush.
Not saying footifan is right in goading them but on their board they do like to have a go as well..Even those thought of as respectful.

lo have you ever thought of applying for a job counting traffic? You know the ones I mean with their car often parked on a pavement or roundabout sitting in a deck chair with a clip board and clip counter. Your skills would undoubtedly suit such a role!

That Martin Cooper on the Facebook NPL group is a right hypocrite. Loves sticking the boot into Darlo but spits his dummy out whenever someone has a go at Salford.
Liam Curry, the Spenny fan is another dimwit.
